Toy Trains VR is one of the most delightful puzzle games I've ever played. Accessible, light, charming, and a ton of creative possibilities. Finished the main campaign and apparently there's update content I haven't even dug into yet.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time 4K UHD SteelBook Review Acclaimed anime director Mamoru Hosada's charming high school adventure The Girl Who Leapt Through time marvelously balances slice-of-life elements with exotic time-travel jumps for a lovable, endeari...

While the 4K isn't a huge upgrade because of the source material, the movie itself remains a classic anime: www.doblu.com/2025/11/11/t...

Outland 4K UHD Review Sean Connery plays a space cop in Outland's successful mash-up of High Noon's western tensions and Alien's anti-corporate messaging.

Arrow's treatment of "High Noon in space" is spectacular, and Outland has aged into a better movie too: www.doblu.com/2025/11/11/o...

When the horse wouldn't work suddely, they discovered the next day that Onyx was unknowingly pregnant. They named the baby... Onyx-pected

Context: Buster Keaton is speaking about a horse (Onyx) he was using on a movie shoot. The punny-punchline is absolutely worth it:

Playing Rabbids Go Home on Wii and I had no idea this took place in an anti capitalist hellscape. It's hilarious. It's kinda wonderful too. Can't believe this was the only adventure game the Rabbids got.

It's weird that I couldn't recognize a single song by name/level/etc. but if a track is playing, I'll sure as shit know what it's from. Distinctive is dead on right

It seriously made me consider a PS5 Pro but I just don't see how it could look $1000 better than on the base PS5. It is marvelous as is

I always appreciate authenticity - when it's perfect. If you go too far or add a sound not technically feasible, it always stands out to me (like a game uses, say, the NES color palette, but adds too many colors to a sprite). That's all I got

Shin Godzilla 4K UHD Review A brilliant fable about government bureaucracy in the face of catastrophe, Shin Godzilla is the most potent satire of the series.

Shin Godzilla is nearly a decade old now, and while the UHD is lackluster visually, the bonus features make this worth the upgrade: www.doblu.com/2025/11/05/s...

I didn't review this one. My other writer did. Honestly, I didn't even know the original story. Kinda wish I had reviewed it though for curiosity's sake

The Life of Chuck Blu-ray Review Mike Flanagan tediously adapts a non-horror short story by Stephen King The Life of Chuck with middling results despite a star-studded Hollywood ensemble.
